In 1962, epidermal growth factor (EGF) was discovered by Dr. Stanley Cohen while studying
nerve growth factor (NGF). It was soon recognized that EGF is the prototypical member of a …

Infertility and adverse gynecological outcomes such as preeclampsia and miscarriage
represent significant female reproductive health concerns. The spatiotemporal expression of …

Embryos lacking an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exhibit strain-specific defects
in placental development that can result in mid-gestational embryonic lethality. To determine …

One of the most critical steps in mammalian reproduction is implantation. Embryos with an
impaired capacity for embryo–maternal crosstalk are thought to have a reduced potential for …

Objective. To examine the association between maternal and fetal genetic variants and
small-for-gestational-age (SGA). Methods. A case–control study was conducted in patients …

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is expressed by decidual and trophoblast cells and
influences manifold cellular functions during embryo implantation. Thus far, signaling of EGF …

The aim of this study was to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying variation in
birthweight (BWT) in a population of Kermani sheep, an indigenous fat-tailed sheep breed in …

Aim We have previously reported that polymorphism in the epidermal growth factor (EGF)
gene is associated with pre‐eclampsia and birthweight based on case–control association …

Pregnancy is personally special to every woman expecting a child, but is also interesting
from the perspective of an immunologist. During a physiological pregnancy, the mother's …

Aim: The aim of these investigations was to study three candidate genes for pre‐eclampsia–
epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor alpha, and angiotensinogen–in …
